The American Society of Magazine Editors and Amazon.com have announced the finalists for their fifth annual Best Cover Contest.
There are 72 finalists in 12 categories, including the somewhat strange "Best Vampire" category.
... Was that category made up especially for this sort of thing?
“Magazine covers capture iconic moments in American life. They tell us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” said Sid Holt, chief executive of the American Society of Magazine Editors, in a statement. “This year’s finalists remind us that it was a tough year for golfers and presidents, a memorable year for fans of Shaun White and Lady Gaga and a very good year for vampires and ‘Mad Men.’”
You can vote for your favorites over at
Amazon starting Sept. 1. You can also view some of the covers up for awards in the image gallery above this post.
